Steven Spielberg was such a big fan of The Last of Us, and of episode 3 in particular, that he sent a letter to writer Craig Mazin to sing the show's praises while it was airing.
In a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, 'Long, Long Time' director Peter Hoar recalled the legendary filmmaker reaching out to Mazin, who adapted the HBO series with video game creator Neil Druckmann. "I didn't get it directly, but [an actual Spielberg letter] came to Craig Mazin, the writer of my episode on The Last of Us – the writer of all the episodes,” Hoar remembered fondly.
